What you are about to read is factual not fictional...
and names have been changed to protect the innocent....

*Outside my window.....Beatles is halfway in and halfway out the window. It is windy and nearly 60 degrees out.

I Am thinking..about how much I would prefer to take a nap over going to my late uncle's wake this afternoon. I know I am awful...but it is the truth....

I am thankful for fun knit friends who gather at Granpa's Place . These women are some of the most grounded people I know.

In the kitchenI hear Rosalyn heaving. She threw up into my shoe....thanks Rozzy....Cat vomit comes and goes around here.....more coming than going of late.

I am wearingjeans and a cotton sweater before I change for the wake.

I am goingto cast on a new shawl tonight. I haven't decided which one yet, but I am finishing my fourth pair of socks of 2012, and want to switch to a shawl.

I am reading the cyberpage of Nobleknits on Karen's recommendation. I like this site and will order from them. Thanks Karen.

I am hopingAl finds an apartment she loves in Evanston.

I am looking forward toa fountain Coke late today.

I am hearingthe scanner go off in the kitchen..."Message received"

Around the housethere are few groceries. I have to get to the store tomorrow.

Plans for the rest of the weekinclude: Spay Nueter clinic in the early morning tomorrow, lots of knitting, lots of blog reading, and a few good naps.

Sixty degrees in Chicago in Feb.? Wow, now I'm not so worried about heading that way next week! It's only 39 here with off/on snow flurries all day. Go figure!

What's up today? Macy just threw up on my jeans--the ones I'm wearing!

I've heard the weather in Chicago is much like the weather in Texas. Strange winter!

Go girl with the shawl knitting!!

I'm about ready for bed. I have a wee one pressed up against my leg, and a DIVA slumbering on around the sectional. The Knight has duty, but should be home soon.

Sis almost threw up this afternoon. Much heaving while I was changing to go walk her, but... I'm grateful.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
